This season I have burned Stove Chow, Clearchoice,Ambiance, Lignetics and Hamers. Just found 10 bags of Firesides buried behind my stash. I was always happy burning them in past years but read some very mediocre opinions here and looked for other choices. Have to say after burning 2 bags in my York they work as well as anything I have burned all year. Maybe a little less heat but a whole lot less ash. Basically says to me that this seasons pellets in general were a disappointment. I liked the Ambiance the best and the Ligs the worst, ashy crap for sure.
